Microbial remediation has the potential to be applied on many sites. Currently, the remediation process has been extensively applied on sewage and pond treatment. Corporations in the USA such as Bioremediate.com provide a microbial alternative to remediate water sites such as ponds, lakes, sewage and aquifers that have been contaminated with toxic substances. The corporation offers several previous case studies, displaying the success of the operations. These services can be accessed at industrial, commercial or residential levels.
